CocktailsandMovies.com Whaddya Got On Tap? – Week of 11/17/17

by Tim Barley and Duwayne Tso

New heroes try to take down the current “Lord of the Box Office”

Well, folks, Thor:Ragnarok has managed to wow audiences enough to stay at number one for two straight weeks. And really, it’s just that good. Now, DC and Warner Brothers give us their best as the anticipated Justice League shows up. Word is mixed, but with so much spectacle, it should take over the top spot this weekend. Two other smaller movies, one with some Oscar bait attached to it, open as well.

Official Synopsis: Based on the New York Times bestseller, WONDER tells the incredibly inspiring and heartwarming story of August Pullman, a boy with facial differences who enters fifth grade, attending a mainstream elementary school for the first time.

Duwayne’s Pick: Justice League! I am a big fan of comic books, both Marvel & DC, as well as their respective movies. I was excited when the first Justice League trailer hit, but then was pushed back from 2016 to 2017, and then Joss Whedon did re-shoots. But, it is finally here and it looks pretty darn good. Lots of actions & fighting, but it will be the intro to Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg that I am looking forward to the most.

Tim’s Pick: Justice League. Not expecting much, but loudness and spectacle go great with cocktails and movies an popcorn.
